But that’s becoming a bit of a challenge for her mom, Kim Kardashian, who was seen on the latest episode of The Kardashians preparing for the Met Gala while North looked on. “It could be just a little bit better,” North said of her mom’s look. Later, in a confessional, Kim told the cameras that North can be overly “critical” sometimes. “This is just her vibe,” Kim said, adding that she asked North to “be easy on me today.” Related: Kim K ‘still learning to be a single parent,’ gets criticized by North “I am.
